Student names UWB Dean and twe protesseis in $825,000 lawsuit
iCHARtI HUFFMAN
A University of Washington Bothell Liberal Studies student, Nannette Denouden, has filed an $825,000 lawsuit in Federal court against the University of Washington, UWB Dean Norm Rose, UWB professors Dan Ja¬ coby and Patrick Morris, and University of Washington Vice Provost Steve Olswang. Many of Denouden's classmates first leamed of the lawsuit when De¬ nouden appeared on the Friday, November 10 national broadcast of the Phil Donahue television show and explained the circum¬ stances of the suit.
Denouden alleges that the university policy of allowing professors to retain copies of student papers was a violation of her rights. The case stemmed from an independent study course that Denouden partici¬ pated in last spring with UWB professor Ja¬ coby. Jacoby appar¬ ently kept copies of a 25 page report that Denouden had writ¬ ten for the course, as well as copies of the first and second drafts. Denouden requested that Jacoby return all copies and drafts to her. After Jacoby's refusal, apparently based on a
common academic principle of professors' right to maintain copies of student works, De¬ nouden appealed to UWB Dean Norm Rose, who also reaffirmed the academic principles. De¬ nouden then appealed to UW Vice Provost Steve Olswang, who also reaffirmed the prin¬ ciple. UWB professor Morris was apparently added to the suit for reasons not directly related to the situation with Jacoby. Denouden wrote a 26 page pa¬ per for a class she took with Morris and concluded, accord¬ ing to her Complaint filed in Federal District Court, that "the University's unilateral decision gave Defendant Professor C. Patrick Morris permission to make copies of Plaintiff's twenty-six page, copyrightable work."
Denouden. according to the civil
cover sheet filed with the her official Complaint, alleges sev¬ eral violations of her rights. The lawsuit is filed as a copyright infringement case, but also has several other elements. De¬ nouden alleges denial of her right to a hearing, violations of her Fifth Amendment rights by having her property taken with¬ out due process and just com¬ pensation and violations of her Fourteenth Amendment rights because of an unlawful taking of property by the state. She also alleges violation of her Ninth Amendment right of liberty to make inoney. Denouden is rep¬ resenting herself in the case. The Roots of the Cose
The roots of the case began last winter quarter when De¬ nouden asked Jacoby, a profes¬ sor in UWB's
Liberal Studies program, to su¬ pervise her in an Independent study program during spring quarter of 1995. "I wanted to write a paper about the history of labor - labor unions," said De¬ nouden on the nationally tele¬ vised Donahue broadcast. "He [Jacoby] taught labor and pub¬ lic policy at the University, a branch campus. I'm interested in law and wanted to write about the history of labor unions."
Jacoby and Denouden agreed that she would write a 25 page paper about organized labor and its monopoly status, and De¬ nouden would .specifically ad¬ dress, according to her filed Complaint, "the political issue of whether labor unions should be treated as a
commodity."
Denouden tumed in the drafts of the paper to Jacoby over the course of the quarter. When she received the final draft back from Jacoby, she noticed that the staples were missing from the paper. "I believe you don't have to remove staples to read a 25 page paper," said Denouden on the Donahue broadcast. "And so that indicated to me that he had made copies of my original. And I asked him and he said yes he had indeed made copies of my paper."
Denouden gave two letters to Jacoby demanding the return oi

MEYER
Ramon Sanchez, Liberal Studies professor, has recently published his first book. How To Meet The Devil and Other Short Stories. Sanchez's book is a collection of short stories span¬ ning from the 1930s to the 1980s which take place in the South¬ west and in Chicano communi¬ ties.
Sanchez is happy with the way the book tumed out. "I am really pleased with the book. 1 like the way the book looks physically. My experience with the editor and publishing house has been a very good one." Al¬ though the publishing house he used. Chusina House Publica¬ tions (Chusnia is defined as the masses) i^ primarily publishing Chicano authors. Sanchez said lhat his editor is open to all writers.
Since many terms in Sanchez's book are in Spanish or in slang, he mcluded a glossary of lentis with definitions. "Once the book was put together. I decided on a glossarv. This goes back to the issue of lan¬ guage which i^ ver\ im¬ portant for any Chicano
writer," explained Sanchez. "The glossary covers terms in the book, but not everything, but I thought that these were the im¬ portant terms that the reader needed."
Sanchez believes that writing a book is much like having a baby in the sense that there is a lot of time invested, hardship, and finally an awaited birth of a work.
How to meet the Devil is not his first published literary effort. Sanchez has had poems pub¬ lished and has two novels wait¬ ing to be published. Sanchez also has written plays.
Sanchez describes himself as a writer as "a re¬ naissance man!" He has been heavily influ¬ enced by two writers in iciuar.
his book bio.
Dostoyevski and Herman Hesse. "And if you know about them, they are a strange combination! I was open to them and I read them. I studied them. What hap¬ pens with any writer is that you absorb other styles and eventu¬ ally come up with your own."
Sanchez has had a varied ca¬ reer that has led him to UWB. According to his bio published on the back of How to Meet the Devil "Sanchez grew up in the Second Ward of El Paso, Texas. He worked the onion fields, was a janitor, and a draftsman. He studied al the university of Texas El Paso, Bowling Green Stale University, and the University of New Mexico, and he has been a Fulbright Lecturer in Spain."
Sanchez is low-key about his many experiences. 'It's basic information," said Sanchez of and nowadays it is something that is ex¬ pected in a book by the reader. 1 hope it did not come across as melo¬ dramatic, it's just the way it happ>ened. What can I say. it is just giving cer¬
tain things to the reader about the author." Sanchez's back¬ ground does help break stereo¬ types that a Chicano cannot speak the same proficiency in Spanish in Spain, or that all Chicanos from the onion fields remain there.
Sanchez says that he grew up with a sensitivity to language, yet he does not profess to know all there is to know about language. Sanchez also commented, in re¬ spect to language. "I hope that 1 am doing two things. One is deal¬ ing with the community I know and {second] giving certain people a work that can appeal to a broad audience.*' Furthermore. Sanchez decided to include grafitti artwork in his book. "The conscious reason why 1 included the grafitti is that I thought that it was very important for the re¬ ality of that environment to show something that's part of the com¬ munity, actually the neighbor¬ hood." said Sanchez, its on the wall, it has meaning, and I thought it uas \er\ important. It is part of the environment"'
Ironically Sanchez feels that there is a demon driving him to write. He comments. "A lot of writers gel to the editing process and say hey. this is no fun! It is this demon that drives vou and
is the only reason that you can get through the editing process. It is a long process lhat demands a lot from you."
Although Sanchez's first character in How To Meet The Devil is named Ramon, he clearly emphasizes that this is not an autobiographical work. "No I am not in there," says Sanchez, "but that 1 am alive and the character is not! HA! HA! Writers use biographical mate¬ rial, but not that much actually, just fragments that they lake from everywhere, and then re- a.ssemble them into a tale. The writer per se is not there. The writer is in the background."
Sanchez's book will remove him from the backgrounds in the literary world. His editor has submitted "How To Meet The De\ il" to several literature con¬ tests lhat v\ ill lake place over lhe next year. Sanchez's book is available at the UW bookstore. You cant miss it. Its the one wilh the Devil on the front sur¬ rounded by a red bjckground!
Sanche/'s book is full of short stories that deal wilh the issue of humanity and community in a clever, sometimes humorous, but sobering manner II is a won¬ derful introduction lo Chicano literature.
